Not Tommy Anymore

Chapter 21 - Alone, Hopeless, Panic, and Fear.

Trigger Warnings - Dude seriously what am I supposed to put here? Blood? Torture? Character Death? Sad Technoblade???? (Yeah those were your trigger warnings-)

Tommy felt himself thrown against the floor, the breath leaving his lungs in an instant. He heard a torch placed down and an iron door close. Tommy tried to curl in on himself but he felt a force in his stomach- Tommy let out a grunt of pain, feeling himself short of breath, he wanted to throw up right there- so he did.

Technoblade turned around and began speed walking, on a hunt for his little brother that he knew was in pain. He wouldn't fail Tommy, he couldn't. Panic and fear surged through him but he ignored it, because the voices were too loud for him. They were deafening, and he wouldn't hear it even if someone screamed at the top of their lungs right in his ear, because the voices were louder, and they were angry, as well as panicked, blood thirsty, and some were already grieving.

Tommy was slammed against the wall, he felt a fist collide with his face. If his cheeks hadn't already been wet with tears, they were wet with blood now. Tommy tried to plead with the green man but his voice got choked up in his throat. He vaguely remembered Dream throwing him back down and landing another full force kick into his rib cage, feeling and hearing the snap of multiple bones.

Technoblade rushed down the prime path faster, that was until he was stopped by someone in front of him. Techno hazily saw Niki in front of him, but he couldn't hear what she was saying. She was saying something but he couldn't hear it, she seemed to be trying to calm him down but he didn't think it was working, in fact he knew it wasn't working because he was still trying to get past her. He tried muttering something about Tommy but he hadn't known if he yelled it or whispered it. The voices were too loud.

The young boy cowered away from his abuser, but he wasn't able to escape from him in this small box. Tommy tried to punch Dream back as he was brought up to his feet, that he honestly couldn't stand on anymore without help, but Dream grabbed his fist and began twisting it the wrong way until he heard a pop and a pained yelp that would satisfy him. Tommy couldn't feel half of his limbs, if not all of them. He felt the first strikes of pain but after the hit it disappeared with the numbness that was slowly peaking its ugly head back up.

Technoblade had fallen on to the ground, Niki was right next to him, and he thought he  saw Ranboo and Ghostbur next to him too, but he couldn't tell. He tried talking, but he really couldn't tell if he was or not, because the longer he sat there panicking the louder the voices got and he didn't think he'd be able to take it if they got louder. Standing up with a force that wasn't necessary, he began down the prime path again trying to find where Tommy would be kept. He even ventured off it, but he wasn't so sure about that because the voices got even louder when he left it. He really couldn't tell what they were saying but he just wanted them to stop so he could find Tommy faster.

Tommy felt his knees buckle underneath him as another punch landed into his stomach. He was on all fours and coughing, he saw something red drip onto the floor and he cringed so bad internally that it hurt, though nothing compared to the pain he was in currently. Dream kicked the boy over, listening to his bones cracking like glass figurines. The blinded boy didn't know what to think anymore, all that was on his mind was the overwhelming pain- but not the physical one, the mental one. He felt loneliness flood his mind and soul, abandonment and numbness joining in. His mind didn't even bother to taunt him with completely false facts that he'd believe anyway, pain was overwhelming and that was for sure, he hardly even remembered Dream throwing him against the wall for what? Like the 3rd time?

Tommy felt Dream slam his head into the wall over and over again before dropping the boy on the floor. Dream had been talking to him the whole time but Tommy hadn't registered any of it, he didn't even hear Dream's last words as he walked away and left the iron door open.

Tommy could only feel pain now. He sat on the cold stone floor, holding himself, but he wanted to be held by Techno or Phil, Or Ranboo, heck even Ghostbur or Niki sounded like good options. He failed to comfort himself, just wishing he had someone to whisper comfort to him, but he was all alone-

Alone.

Tommy was always alone, wasn't he? He has been alone his entire life, even when he thought people were dear to him. Eventually they all left him. Right?

He was so cold. He would shiver if he could, but he honestly didn't have the energy to do anything. All he could do was hope- hope for someone?

He already knew hope was such a stupid thing! Hope just let him down, why would he hope for anything? He had given Techno and Phil and Ranboo his love- but he needed a return.

His blue blind eyes, turned grey with despair. He's always been alone so why was he so scared of going through with this alone?

He was scared of going through with death alone, but honestly? Anyone should be... He could support that- dying alone was scary... A sob wracked through the boy, but he felt his lungs collapse, no strength to bring in another breath.

His body went cold, and Tommy died.
